Better than Cotton Candy

Mar 9, 2009

The skies brightened last weekend and the rain-weary honey bees returned to the nectarine blossoms in our yard

They were in the pink again!

Capturing images of the bees gathering nectar and pollen is more fun than eating cotton candy at a county fair.

Springlike day.

Radiant pink flowers.

Industrious honey bees.

What more could anyone ask for a garden party?
